The 10/100/1000 Ethernet Tap provides easy 24 x 7 access to your 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet network segments, making it an ideal portable network tap for troubleshooting Ethernet networks with multiple port speeds or for security monitoring applications, where you need non-intrusive, dedicated access to your network.

The 10/100/1000 Ethernet Tap provides a totally passive solution for networks with 10/100Mbps connections. Functioning in 10/100 mode, this network tap operates as a passive tap and will not lose a single bit of data between network devices in the rare case that power to both redundant power supplies is lost. The totally passive and non-directional front end eliminates the need for relay failover circuitry.

A convenient DIP switch on the back of the tap can be used to select auto-negotiation at 10/100 or fixed speed and duplex settings at 1000Mbps

At 1000Mbps speeds, the network tap uses a power fault relay which closes in the rare case that power to both redundant power supplies fails. This relay is only engaged at the 1000Mbps speed configuration.

The 10/100/1000 Tap’s fault tolerant design will help ensure that network performance and integrity will not be affected by power loss.
